A company produces packets of soap powder labeled "Giant Size 32 Ounces." The actual weight of soap powder in such a box has a N

ormal distribution with a mean of 33 oz and a standard deviation of 0.7 oz. To avoid having dissatisfied customers, the company says a box of soap is considered underweight if it weighs less than 32 oz. To avoid losing money, it labels the top 5% (the heaviest 5%) overweight. What proportion of boxes is underweight (i.e., weigh less than 32 oz)? .9236 .0764 .2420 .7580

Answer:

0.0764

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 33, \sigma = 0.7

What proportion of boxes is underweight (i.e., weigh less than 32 oz)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 32. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{32 - 33}{0.7}

Z = -1.43

Z = -1.43 has a pvalue of 0.0764, which is the correct answr

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1) 9

2) 34

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one, it would be

= (6×3)/2

= 18/2

= 9

The second one is,

= 36- (12/6)

= 36 - 2

= 34

A standard deck of playing cards contains 52 cards, equally divided among four suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades). Each
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The order does not matter, so we will be using combinations here. 52C1 is the first one since there is only one possibility. 16C1 is the second. You have to multiply these two, so 52 X 16 = 832.

A direct variation function includes the ordered pair (4, 5). Which statement is true? The constant of variation k is mc001-1.jp
devlian [24]
A direct variation suggest that the value of x in the equation would greatly affect the value of y such that when x is increasing, y also increases and the other way around. The equation for a direct variation is that,
                               y  = kx
Substituting the given values in the ordered pair,
                           5 = k(4)   ; k = 5/4

Find the volume of the sphere. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
dusya [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

All you need do is find the radius and put it into the formula V = (4/3) pi r^3.

Givens

d = 12 yards

r = d/2

Solution

r = 12 yds/2 = 6 yds

V = 4/3 pi r^3

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 6*6*6

V = 904.32

Answer 904.4 yd^3
